Prevention

Prevention is always the best medicine.
Colon Cancer is a treatable disease, if caught early. We want to help
ensure your health by offering preventative screening for possible
colon and rectal problems. This becomes important as we get older. The
NIH (National Institute of Health) suggests that all men and women age
50 or older should have a Colonoscopy.

Persons who have a family history of
colorectal disease should start screenings at an earlier age. Most
people with early stages of colon cancer have no symptoms.
